Artists Build Life-Size VW Beetle from Sand


One of the star attractions at this year’s “New Beetle Sunshine Tour” that will take place at Grömitz in Northern Germany on July 19, 2008, will be without doubt a life-sized New Beetle made entirely from sand. The sculptured Beetle, which was created with river sand instead of sea sand as it’s more resilient, is the work of two sand castle artists, Michel de Kok from The Nederlands and his partner Martijn Smits. The tour is a private initiative that got started by Beetle Cabriolet driver Gabriele Kraft in 2004. This year’s gathering is considered special as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of VW’s New Beetle. -More photos after the jump
